Activity in Mining.

In common with all ether industries, mining IS receiving more attenti)n than II has obtained for several years. But some features that have charaotrrIzed other re- vivals of interest. are notably absent al this time. There are fewer inning sales, or sales of prospects, than was antioi- pated would be the case this season, ard 'the man xi.h a mine" to sell finds the road to success hard one to travel. The man, too, who i, alwsys seeking for a "grub-stake" to prospect, finds little en- couragement. Heretofore other reyivals of interest in mining have been charac- terized by a wild desire on the ps't of the investing pubic to buy, or to outfit prospe1tors to discover claims. The absence of these festures Is thing not so be deplored. for, as rule, the anxious pur.hasers too often learned some se- were lessons and paid dearly for their tu- ition. The result was reaction and h. jury to the whole industry.
 The present interest IS taking wiser direction It is in the way of developing promising prospects which can be bonded and leased st fair hs'ue The fact that mining development 1, business which properly conductrd, i; not purely gam bling occupation, and is as free from risks as most other occupations. seems to be better understood than i, has beer. There is an abundance of capital vii h can be invested in mining ventures Tn ti C way designated, and great deal Is ow invested that way. There IS scarcely a
 camp of importance in the state in which some such work IS not beng done, and what sales are made are oi claims which have been worked by ihe purchasers. As a rule, the men taking the bonds and making the purchases are mining men who understand ther bu,i ness. The inevitable result nut be in. creased produc!i,n of precious metals, a decrease in the amount unprohtably ln' vested, and larger profits in proportion to the capital engaged. This is what every well-wisher of the industry must be pleased to see And |, IS what must gratiiy every man, for when capital in- vested in business is makios profits the entire community shares in Ihe benefits.

More Railroads.

Recent press dispatches show an un-
 usual and competitive activity in rairoad
 building and indications poiat to the
 speedy completion of. st least, two roads centering at Yums. The Santa Fe
 and Southern Pacific people have reached San Juan Clpistrano. in Los
 Angeles county Csliioui,, paralleling
 then roads to that pont, but from
 there. the dispatches state, the Southern Pacific road is heading southeast for Yuma. It is also asserted that upon
 the completion of thls road to Yuma lhe desert route will be abandoned. In some of the dttaiis the associated pres. ssents are most probably mistaken. The Southern Pacific will undoubtedly touch at San DIego, and, the opinion of the Sei.tiael, the old Texas PAGinc survey over what vas termed the "direct route from that point to Yuma, will be fol-
 lowed, except that poition of the road will oiverge below the boundary line and pass through a potion of Lower California, touching at Enoenada. and other Mexican points, and ou, again. perhaps through Mllquaii valley, and in along the boundary to Yuma. By d. yerging below the line a vast amount 0:
 heavy mount .in work would be avoided Without doult a iold Sill be constructed from Yuma to Pot Ysabel on the Gulf of California, most likely by the Southern Pacific company which has al- ready surveyed the route. and, in ,me continued down to the Gulf of Guaymas, thus tapping the coast trade Of the states Of Sonora, Ctihuahus, Cohshui.s, Cinaloa and Durango. The later road
 will develop couatry prolific in mines, agricultural wealth, pearl and ether fisherles. and lumber. With the ad. vent ol the railroad, there would be estii lished at the head of the gulf immense
 canning establishments for the ,anning and shipment of the hishes, market able value and of oysters and clans, all
 of which abound ir unlimited qusnt ,y. Between Yuma and the gulf are millions of acres of fine arable land, and along
 the borders Of the gull there is ustolO mineral wealth.
 There IS also . rumor gathering strength that road will be constructed
 out from Yuma 10 tap ih, Atlantic q Pacific
 Altogether it looks as though thi.

THE ATLANTIC q PAclF1C'9 OAo
 LUCK.

The new management of the Atlantic X Pacific railroad have been very un- fortunate of late, with the road. A series Of accidents have occurred, which will cost the company thousands Of dollars for repairs, to say noting of the loss to them through the faling of of traffic, as result of these mishaps. On Saturday evening, April I6 b the en- glne. express and baggage car of the west bound passenger train were de- raiied while rounding curve near Ash Fork. seriously injaring three persons. employes on the train, and delaying ii several hours Sam Miller, of Prescott, who was a passenger on the same train from Seligman reported it as meeting with an accident near The Needles when one or two passengers were hurt. On Wednesday night, April goth. while coming around curve near Belmont the engine and express car of the west bound passenger train left the track and ~ent ove the grade. landing with their running gear up in the air. Fortunately at this time no one was hurt, the engi- neer and fireman both jumping from the engine and saving themsleves.
 On ;hs neN day, Thursday April 2ts, an east bound freight train run into a burned bridge near the Canyon Diablo, wrecking siteen cars and strewing them over quaser of an acre of ground and killing t~o men.
 The bridge was over wash and was not over three or four feet in height and probably twice that in length, in com psrstively level country and ordinarily would have delayed travel five or six hours, bu, csuseda complete suspension of traffic on the road for t~o days, no passen- ger train passing Seligman from Wednes- dayn ight until Saturday night. The en- ploye, sent out to repair the breal-, built temporary track around il, called a "shoo fy" but which was So inperfec,ly done that a train could no, pass over i, everyone making the attempt :or two days being derlled. The wrii,r happened to De passenger on ore of the delayed trains and the remarks of the through passengers were neither complimentary to the. management of ihs read or the competency of their employees. The train men themselves admit tha, delay of no longer than six hours should have occurred, wbily forsy- eight hours elapsed from the time of the acoider. until traffic was resumed around the ueAk.

q PROSPEROUS TOWN.

The editor of the JoURNALMiNER pad a visit recently to Flagstaff, the gem city of the mountains, located in the northeastern part of this county, and was agreeao'y surprised to find the rapid progress made there during the past year. A little over a year ago the entire business portion of the town was de- stroyed by fire. This has all been rebuilt and in many instances with good sub stantial brick and stone structures
 In addition to the rebuilding of the burnt portion of the town, business houses extend about two blocks further along the main street of the place than before the fire, while lots for residences have been sold, and many of them rm- proved for ,hreequarters of mile out from the business center. During the year a fine church has also been erected.
 A large number of buildings, both for business purposes and residences, are now under construction, and the place lmpresses one as Icing possessed of a general air of prosperity.
 Within the past month two banks have been established in the place, which seem to be doing good business.
 The growth of the place has been so rapid of late, and the limits of the town have been extending so much that it will not be long until what is known as Mill town, a little village built up by the Aver Lumber company and surrounding Its mlll property, will be merged into the town of Flagstaff
 The above-named enterprise, by the way, is the largest of its kind vest of the Missouri river, having a capacity ot cutting Ioo,o 900 feet of lumber per day, and having on occasions even exceeded tbis by 10000 feet The enterprise is under the superin,endency of b. M. Riordan, thorough business man Of uniting energy and enterprise, who takes prlde. not only in the success of the en. terprlse with which he IS connected, but in the development and growth Of the town and surrounding county.
 Mir. Riordan informed the JOURNAL MINER scribe that he expected to start the mill up about the Ist of May, having been delayed this season. as he usually commences April Ist A log train has been placed on the Mineral Belt railroad to- transport logs to the mill, and the mill will be run during the summer to i,s full capacity.
 An association of business men of the town has been formed for the purpose of acquiring titles to the land on which the town is located A portion of ihe town is located on school land and the bal- ance on railroad land. This association does not propose to engage in any spec ulstive enterprise, but has been formed exclusively and solely for ,he above named purpose of acquiring titles to land.
 The future outlook for the place IS certainly most fl tterins, and real estate has already appreciated in value very much, a corner lot. Go tett fro1t, selling a few days ago for $, ROO,
